One of the highlights was our exhibit, High Hopes, celebrating the life and legacy of President John F. Kennedy. This original exhibition attracted visitors from across the country and the world—including President Kennedy’s daughter, Ambassador Caroline Kennedy, who inspired a sold-out audience of nearly 3,000 with her remarks on the importance of studying our history. High Hopes was the fifth exhibit developed by the Oregon Historical Society featuring Portland businessman and OHS trustee Pete Mark’s world class collection of historical treasures. Sadly, Pete passed away on June 1, 2017 at 91 years of age after a remarkable life of accomplishment. OHS will always remember his friendship and generosity—and continue his legacy, and that of other dear friends we lost in 2017—by preserving and sharing Oregon’s story with future generations. 2017 was also a year of progress for our FORWARD! capital campaign. Just a few weeks ago, we said goodbye to our popular Oregon My Oregon exhibition after a successful fourteen year run. Construction has already begun on our new permanent exhibition, Experience Oregon, which is being developed with a diverse group of stakeholders to present Oregon’s vast history through broad perspectives. Gifts to the FORWARD! campaign make this important renovation possible, and we are excited to debut this state-of-the- art exhibition on Oregon’s 160th birthday, February 14, 2019. We also made great progress on the second goal of the campaign with the launch of OHS Digital Collections. Since the site went live last May, over 15,000 photographs, oral histories, and manuscripts have been digitized and made available to the public, with new content being added weekly. Architectural plans are being finalized for our Research Library, which will undergo a renovation beginning in 2019 to create a more inspiring and productive space for historical research and preservation work. Through FORWARD!, we continue to raise funds for all three of these initiatives, as well as build endowments that will secure our accomplishments into the future. We invite all of you to join this important campaign, which will ensure that Oregonians always have access to history that enriches our lives and informs our decisions. Thank you for your continued support and for helping put the power of history into everyone’s hands. Best regards, Kerry Tymchuk Carl Christoferson Executive Director President, Board of Trustees 2 3 Volunteers The Oregon Historical Society is lucky to have over 100 volunteers helping out in a variety of ways. Learning about Oregon history, developing new skills, and contributing to the community are all aspects of volunteering at OHS.
